Wonderful school! The teachers have a tremendous amount of love and compassion for the students and coworkers. This school was awarded the Platinum Award for Excellence. My wife is a teacher at this school and truly works hard to help her students and keep up the excellence. She has students calling

I hire many of her former students in the summer to help with our business, because I know that these students have the best work ethic. I think that the other teachers that I have met are very much like my wife. When they are together you can hear how much they enjoy the students and their coworkers. Two small excellent schools merged to make an excellent large school. Read less

I have lived in Hart County all my life and I totally agree with the Atlanta comments. The 5 Star post must be a teacher or relative. I have 2 children there, one a straight A student and the other just making it. We are heavily involved. You never know what your child's grade is until report card.

The second does an excellent job with their site. We still have not been told when the CRCTs are this year. If you question a grade, you are labled a trouble maker and you are ignored. If you are from one of the local families who has a teacher there, your set. Very poor leadership. Read less

I totally agree with the people who are from Atlanta. This school wants to 'feel good' about education but not really teach the child. If you child is already above the 'meet the average' test score, they feel they don't have to do anything else for the child. If you ask for help you are told 'Nobody

Also, so what if our test scores are above average for Georgia, Georgia is either 49 or 50 in state ranking. There are some excellent teachers at North Hart, caring and very helpful. I just wish they could get the support from the district to do what they love to do. Read less

Volunteering, I have tried. Several times, I have said, let me know what I can do. I get the standard, so and so are taking care of it, but thanks soooo much. The comment 'go back to atlanta' proves the mentality by most here, born and bred here or you don't belong here. I AM involved w/ my child's education,

The attention a child gets is based on, the church you attend, the car you drive and the delusional postion by some who think they're the pillars of the community. The children deserve a better education, in more then one way. Read less

I am shocked about the review above! North Hart Elementary has PTO meetings, regular newsletters, and the doors have always been open to parents for conferences. Some of the most caring and best teachers and administrators I have ever seen are employed there. You obviously are not involved in your

I am on the fence about this school. We recently moved to this school district from the Atlanta area. My daughter hasn't had computer class since she has been here, where at her previous it was a weekly subject. There are no parent teacher conferences, you have to check the report card if you want one

I try to volunteer but they seem to only want the people who don't have an opinion or who quietly keep it to themselves not to upset the principal. No PTO meetings. Lack of good leadership. Read less
